POLARIZED PLUG (120V Models Only)

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only

one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,

contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW

Warning: This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent removal

of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt to remove

the outer cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only

by authorized service personnel.

ELECTRICAL CORD

a) A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be provided to

reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

b) Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be

used if care is exercised in their use.

c) If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,

1) The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord

or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating

of the appliance,

2) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should

be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and

3) The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the

countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped

over.

Note: If the power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualified personnel.

feature is especially handy when preparing grilled sandwiches and grilling thick

pieces of meat and poultry.

Important: Do not exert excessive pressure when using handle to press; use only light

pressure to avoid putting extreme stress on float & lock hinge.

7. After selected time, the food should be done. If you would prefer longer

cooking, simply follow the steps in this section beginning at step 4.

8. Press On/Off switch to turn grill off.

Caution: To avoid sparks at outlet while disconnecting plug, make sure power is off

GRILLING FRUITS AND VEGETABLES

The following are meant to be used as a guideline only. The times reflect a full grill of

food. Cooking time will depend upon thickness of food. Use a fork inserted into the

center of the food to test for doneness. (Be careful not to touch the grill plate.) If the food

GRILLING TIPS:

• To prevent heat loss and promote even cooking, do not open the grill cover frequently

while cooking.

• Do not overﬁll grill; it will hold 2 to 4 servings comfortably.

• When ﬁrst cooking a particular food, check for doneness several minutes before

suggested time.

• If cooking more than one piece of food, try to have them similar in size and thickness.

• Remember that since grill is cooking from both sides, cooking time will typically be

shorter than expected. Watch carefully to avoid overcooking.

• For added ﬂavor, add dry seasonings before grilling or marinate foods before cooking.

USING THE LOCKING HINGE POISITION

This feature keeps upper grill plate above food on lower grill plate.

1. This grill has a unique hinge that allows the grill cover to adjust to the thickness of food

being grilled. This allows for even melting of cheese on top of hot cooked hamburgers.

2. If the grill is not hot, preheat grill following directions under PREHEATING THE GRILL.

3. Lift handle of the grill cover up and forward into the locking position of ﬂoat & lock

hinge.

4. Lower the grill cover into the BROILING position above

the food (H).

5. Allow food to cook for desired time.

6. For even browning and cooking, when grilling more than

one sandwich or piece of meat, it is important that the

thickness of each be about the same.

CARE AND CLEANING

CLEANING

Caution: To avoid accidental burns, allow grill to cool thoroughly before cleaning.

1. Before cleaning, unplug grill from wall outlet and allow to cool.

Caution: To avoid sparks at outlet while disconnecting plug, make sure power is off

before disconnecting the plug from the outlet.

Important: Heating elements will continue to be ON until the On/Off switch is pressed or

the appliance is unplugged.

2. Place drip tray under front of grill (see illustration D). Use plastic spatula to scrape off

any excess fat and food particles left on the grill plates; runoff will drip into the drip

tray. Wipe plates dry with a paper towel or sponge to avoid grease dripping onto your

counter when plates are removed.

3. Remove plates as instructed in HOW TO USE (see illustrations B and C). To clean grill

plates, wash in warm, soapy water; dry thoroughly with a paper towel.

4. Empty drip tray and wash in warm, soapy water; dry thoroughly with a paper towel.

5. Reinstall grill plates (see illustrations B and C), making sure they are securely

attached to grill body.

Note: Removable grill plates are also dishwasher-safe. If washing grill plates in a

dishwasher, wipe uncoated side with a dry towel to prevent discoloration. Dishwasher

detergent may cause oxidation on uncoated side of grill plate. This is not harmful and can

be wiped off with a damp towel.

6. To remove stubborn buildup, use a nylon or nonmetallic scrubbing pad to clean the grill

plates.

Important: Do not use metallic scrubbing pads, steel wool or any abrasive cleaners to

clean any part of your grill; use only nylon or nonmetallic scrubbing pads.

7. To clean the grill cover, wipe with a warm, wet sponge and dry with a soft, dry cloth.

Important: Do not immerse body of grill in water or any other liquid.

8. Any servicing requiring disassembly other than the above cleaning must be preformed

by a qualiﬁed electrician.

Caution: Make sure to hold grill cover by the handle while cleaning to prevent

accidental closing and injury.

STORAGE

• Always make sure grill is clean and dry before storing.

• Be sure locking side latches are fully closed and locked before storing grill. This allows
